Annyuncement is semi-officially made that “the raid upon the pension rolls will begin as soon as the silver question is disposed of in the house, and before the tariff bill is ro- ported.” In the same connection the state- ment_comes indirectly from Speaker Crisp that Mr. Tarsney of iKansas City will ceed Mr, Martin of Indiana as chairman of the house committee on invalid pensions. Mr. Murtin, who was & union_soldier, played too much eagerness in the last con- gress to pass pension bills, and opposed the various democratic measures for reducing pensfons, Mr. Tarsney was a union soldier, ut he has lived in a hot-bed of ex-confed" eracy for a dozen years, and has held ofices repeatedly by grace of that element and those opposed to pensions, He appears to be about the only ex-union soldier who 18 wllfln{!, or can afford to ns- sume the responsibility of ““purging the rec- ords of one-third of the persons who are drawing pensions and who are on the rolls through fraud,” as the majority of the pres- ent house h eclared, The pension busi- ness has been by Speaker Crisp and other leading democrats in the house, made of greater importance a party and economic question than tho tariff, 'and second only to the financial sitLation, News or the Army.

One of the most nulu\\’urlh?' of these, says the New York Tribune, is the construction of the harbor and fort of Tunis, which have just been completed by the French gov- ernment. The capital of Tunis is ae{m- rated from the sea by a lagoon twelve miles long, which was not even naviga- ble for small steamers, while the port itself, La Goulette, was 80 shallow that passenger boats had to remain at a dis- tance of about three-quarters of a mile out at sea. Within the short space of five years France has entively metamor- }wlwsed this state of affairs, and the argest steamers can now advance be- tween two superb jetties, lighted by electricity, and moor alongside the newly constructed quays, which at pres- ent constitute the finest ornament of the city. ———— World's fair views Courtland beach. ————— Mosquitoes in War Times, “Speaking of mosquitoes,” said the man on the veranda, “‘there were issued some of the troops in the eastern part of the south in the course ot the civil war in this country, from 1861 to 1865, mos- quito nets, which might be called indi- vidual nets, for they were one to & per- son. 'These nets, when set in position, were about six feet long,three feet high, and three feet wide. Tapes ran along the top edge and extended in_loose ends at the four corners. When the net was setup for use these corner tapes were tied around four sticks, little corner posts, driven into the ground. It might to some seem amusing, the idea of issu- ing mosquito nets to troops engaged in actual service; they might think that men in constant danger of being bitten by cannon balls and bullets would have little fear of mosquitoes, but this would be merely the superficial view of persons not fully acquainted with the mosquito.” —_— - World’s fair views Courtland beach.

Turner of New York, after the action of the New York caucus, declaring that he was not a candidate, and Smith of Texas, secing the Iandslide in Hurt's direction, withdrew from the race. After a short speech by Mr. Holman, Mr. Turner of Georgia nominateda Mr. Crisp for re-election in a brief but well-timed speech. This nomination was seconded in short, pithy speeches by Messrs. Coombs of New York, Hatch of Missouri and Wilson of West Virgiuia, after which Mr. Crisp was nomi- nated by acclamation and amid applaus Mr, Springer, Hatch and Wilson wero lected as a committee to notify the speaker and a few minutes later brought him into the hall, where he was introduced by Mr. Hateh. Mr. Crisp's Speech. Mr. Crisp spoke as follows: ‘“‘The extra- ordinary condition of affairs throughou! the country has necessitated our meeting in ex- traordinary session, In sofar as that con- dition is attributable to cxisting laws, we are 1 no wiso responsible thercfor. Now for the first time in more than thirty years we are in full power. We can ropeal the bad laws and we can make good ones. The people have entrusted us with that power and expect us to exercise it in their behalf. “Our financial tem should be revised and reformed. The strictest economy in public expenditures should be obseved, and taxation should be equalized and greatly re- duced, To those purposes we are thoroughly committed, We must redeem our pledges. Let us begin the work at once. Let us lay aside every other consideration than the public good and endeavor to 8o discharge the duties assigned to us to restore confidence, promote prosperity and advance the general welfare of all cl isses of our people. Sincrely grateful for your confidence and esteem, I pledge myself 1o devote to the dis- charge of the duties of the responsible posi- tion you have assigned me, all tho energy and ability I possess.” At the' close of Speaker Crisp's speech, Mr. Keer of Pennsylvania was renominated clerk by acclamation and the caucvs then proceeded to the eloction of a sergeant-at- arms, the leading candidates being the pres- ent incumbent, Mr. Yoder of Ohio and Mr Snow of Ilinois Republicans in Caucus. The room of the judiciary committeo was none too large to hold the republican mem- bers of the house tonight. Mr. Henderson of lllinois, presided and Mr. Hooker of New York acted as secretary and each was subsequently re-elected to the same position m the caucus for the ensuing congre: General Henderson nominated ex-Speaker Reed for speaker, saying that he would name a man whose record and whose hold on the populur heart would make a more cloquent appenl than anything he might be able to say. The nomination was made by acclamation and after prolouged applause Mr. Reed responded in his sarcastic style. Four months ago, he said, they had_left congress and returned to their homes with the country in a prosperous condition. All the mills were running, the spindles playing, furnaces roaring, labor empioyed everywhere, and the people happy. *‘Now,” he continued, “‘we are called back i find an ex- traordinary depression, distress 1n aly circles and general demoralization of th finance of the country, a condition, of course, precipitated by democratic failure to legis- late. In this emergency the democrats call upon the republicans to lay aside all parti- sanship, forget anything that has been done in the past and join with the democrats to get them out of their present trouble.” Will De Their Duty. There was no attempt on the part of Mr. Reed to outline a_party policy.and he con- cluded by saying the republican party would be found discharging its duty i u way to fit 1t tothe broad measurc of its past record when it was in the majority, and if it did this, it could be asked to do no more. Tho remainder of the ticket nominated was as_follows: Clerk, E. D. McPherson, Pennsylvania; sergeant-at-arms. A. J. Holmes. Tows; doorkeeper, J. L. Hathaway, Moutana; chaplain, Rev.

Large bonds, at the request of the holders, were turned into bonds of the denomination of &0 and $100.

Michener and othergIndiana friends of Benjamin Harrison are start- ing a movement designed to secure the nomination of the latter for president is apparently an idle invention. Mr. Michener himself said: *‘There is not a word of truth in the statement. Iam not doing anything about Mr. Harrison's nomlnfi.thm in 1896, nor do I believe any movement of the sort is on foot. Gen- eral Harrison's {riends all know that his renomination could only come through conditions which may or may not exist that year. It would be sheer nonsense to expect to bring it about by any or- ganization made at this time. If the time ever does como to renominate him it will not be done by secret clubs. General W. W, Dudley saia that there was no truth in the statement. Both gentlemen were called upon by scores of politicians for facts as to the truth of the allegation. s Grasshoppers in Pennsylvania, HuNTINGTON, Pa, Aug. 5—The farmers in the lower end of this county are in despair over the great loss they have sustained by an invasion of grass- boppers. The insects appeared in count- less swarms, destroying every growing thing in their path. They have ruined hundreds of tons of hay and the entire crop of timothy seed. Now they have attacked what few vegetables have sur- vived the continued drought. e Spreckels on Sugsi SAN FRANOISCO, Aug. 5. — Claus Spreckels has abandoned for the pres- ent his intention of going to Wushing- ton on sugar matters, and will now await a summons from some congres- sional investigating committee. *“The beet sugar industry is certainly not reul{ to stand alone,” said he, *‘though ina few years it may be, for improved machivery is all the time lessening the labor required. 1 feve this country ought to produce all the sugar it uses - somewhere near 1,380,000 tons. With the encourngemanrul the beet sugar industry I believe this will be brought about.

Francis, general passengor agent of the B. & M., was riding over his line the other day east from Denver. Oc- cupying the same seat with him in the sleeper, says the Chicago Post, was a gentleman whom he knew very well, but who did not recognize him. This companion for the time being seemed not to have enjoyed a very good night's rest and to have wakened up that morn- ing in rather a grumpy mood. He had just come from the dining car, where he had breakfast, but still the meal seemed to have had no soothing effect on his temper. “Ido not see,” he remarked to Mr. Francis. “why these western roads should have raised the rate to $1 per meal. They were high enough before.” “They raised them," said Mr. Francis, ‘‘because they had to. Running dining cars has in the past been a source of constant expense to tho roads. The old rates did not pay them the cost of fur- nishing the meals.” “0h¥l kuow that is what they claim, but it is all nonsense. Look here now, let’s figure out this thing. Does any- body mean to tell me that 75 cents would not pay for all T had for break- fast this morning? Let's figure it out. I had a bit of beefstcak. That did not cost the company more than 15 ents; potatoes, say 5 cents—I don't be- lieve I ate a cent’s worth; butter, say 3 cents; cream, 3 cents; bread—well, 6 cents will buy a whole loaf, and I did not eat tne third of one—say 4 cents coffee, 10 cents; strawberries, 10 cents— what I ate did not cost the third of that. That would be 50 cents, or just one-half of what the company chargea me for the meal. I think it is an outrage.” Mr. Francis listened, smiled, but did not prolong the discussion. Presently he rose, left the car and sought more agreeable company in the smoking com- partment. Very soon another gentle- man occupied his seat. **Did you notice that gentleman that left this seat a little while ago?” asked the discontented passenger of his new neighbor. *‘His face seemed quite familiar. Ihave been trying to place him since I first saw him this morning, but for the very life of me I cannot do it.” “Yes, T know that gentleman very well," replied the new arrival, *“That is J. Francis, the general passenger agent of this road.” “What? Why, so it is! I thought I ought to have known him. Well, I have gone and put my foot in it badly.” After awhile Mr. Francis finished his cigar, left the su ker and returned to his former location in' the sleeping car. The discontented traveler was still there, but a change seemed to have come over his disposition in the mean- time. “You are Mr. Francis, [ believe,” he said as graciously as any one could im- agine, the general passenger agent of this road?” *‘Yes, that is my name and position. “Well, I thought I should have know you My name is < S0 “Oh\ yes! T am'very well aware of it. I knew you the moment I saw you, but I saw ‘you did not recognize me and I thought I would say nothing about it.” ‘‘Well, now, if the Union Pacific would only run such aroad as this. I declare to you that is the vilest road I ever traveled over.” ‘‘You appear to be too hard to suit. It seems pretty hard to satisfy you any way you take it. I guess the Union Pacific is all right.” “Oh, come now. I hope you will not feel hurt over whatl said about the {uricc of meals, but I think the Union >acific is a vile road to travel over.” “‘What was the secret of the change?” repeated Mr. Francis as he old of the incident. “Why, that man was travel- ing on apass. His transnortation did not cost him a cent and he was not satis- fied because the road did not furnish him with free meals in addition to free transportation.” s The Clork and the Kicker.

PAPER MONEY STILL SCARCE New York Banks Striving to Replenish Their Supply of Gresnbacks, SMALL BILLS BRING A GOOD PREMIUM Bankers Paying Checks In Gold and Silver —An Advance of from 1 1-2 to 2 1-4 Paid for Currency and Silver Dollars—Financial Notes. New Yok, Aug5.—[Special Telegram to Tre Brg)-—Wall street continues worried by the scarcity of currency and business houses of thewhole city are troubled almostas much on the same question. This morning at & number of the big banks the officials, when checks were presented, handed out coin, and in many cases flatly refused to pay in bills. The universal rea- on was they did not have bills to give. Paud In Gold. When a check for §00 or $1,000 was handed in at the cashier's window a bag of gold coin was turned over to the pre- senter of the paper. Odd amounts of & fow dollars were pmd in either bills or stiver, but the banks put out us few cart wheels as possible. The scarcity of currency has been made more marked today by the endeavor of all busi- ness and manufacturing and financial insti- tutions that make wage payments Saturday to secure small bilis in small denominations, and currency brokers did a thriving business. Oue firm had advertised a newspaper offering £7.50 per 1,000 silver dollars, rokers charged er cent for bills and sil- The subtreasury was busy all morning paying out smnall bills, For vay roll use United States notes in_ denomina- tions of £, §10 and #20 were_ given. * Gold was paid for checls on the United States treasury presented over the counter. It was reportea on good authority, al- though Wall street was skeptical as to the truth of the story, that such of the gold now afloat for this country as had not been se- cured by the savings banks, had been sold to out-of-town banks ava premium of 11§ per cent. The larger importing houses denied that they had sold their gold, although offers for it had been made to them. The subtreasury-paid its balance of §08,050 at the clearing house in currency. There was paid out over the counter on checks £85,000, mostly in gold, with a sprinkling cf treasury notes. Of silver $0,00 was paid out. Astonlshing and Sensational. Few events in the history of Wall street have been more astonishing and sensational than this week's rapid advance of stock maj ket prices in the face of a money situation critical in the extreme. Some time ago in commenting on the vio- lent declines of that time, reference was made to tho well known characteristics of protracted speculative movements by wh the advance or decline, reflecting at the out- set the real conditions, is certain to carry vrices beyond the bounds of reason. That this was done by the recent manipulators for the decline has long been evident. So dark and hopeless did the outlook seem that the lead- ing ‘“bear” speculators were tempted to in- crease their contracts on the shortside toan unprecedented volume. "They were followed, apparently, us successful leaders -in Wall street ure, by a greatand indiscrimina rabble of small speculators. ‘I'he result that when an upward turn of the market actually came the demand for stocks to tuke profits on the speculative sales was enor- mously greater than the supply offered ut market prices. In particular, the collapse on Wednesday of last week, when panic seemed imminent, had led this class of oper- ators to believe that every one was ready to sell.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. —As soon after con- gross meets s it bocores practicable, Mr. Bland, the leader of the silver forces in the house. will introduce a bill embodying the views of the silver men. It will provide for the ropeal of the Sherman purchasiog act and substitute therefor the free coinage of silver at the present ratioof 16 to L. *“That,” said Mr. Bland, *will bo the ground upon which we will make the fight, ulthough there has been no definite plan agreed upon. He recognized that men could honestly differ as to the ratio, but that was a matter By the use of both gold and silver as money at a parity the democratic party could not differ. If a compromise measure increasing the ratio_ was reached, he said, he saw no reason why the present dollar should not be kept in_circulation as it was now. He pro- posed, however, with all his power to resist any increase in the ratio. Arbitrary sand Uncalled For. The attitude of the treasury department in refusing to buy=silver was arbitrary and uncalled for, Mr. Bland said, sbut there was no ground for the talk that the secre- tacy could be impeached. The law gave him the discretion and he was exercising it, and that was onc of the mistakes of the law, as he looked 1t, which was full of mistakes, He warned friends of silver on this very point when the bil came up for considera- tion in the house. "The Bland-Allison act was superior in that respect, in that it did not give the secretary the power, but required him to purchase a specific amount. 1f the United States, Mex- ico and South American countrics, together with the countries of Asia on our west, were to agree upon & common ratio, Mr. Bland thought, we would have all the trade we wanted and wouid thereby force Europe to come to the uso of silver as a money. Mr. Bland said that he had not seen the speaker, and when it was suggested Lo him that some of his friend: the east would be glad to see him off the committee on coin- age he only smiled and said they could not, at any rate, run him off the loor of congress. ‘The chumpion of silver declared that there would be a bitter fight against any attempt to change the rules so thal a cloture provision might be incorporated, Mr. Henderson's Plan, Representative Henderson of North Caro- lina bas a plan for the readjustment of the silver question that he holds out to be satis- factory to the persous who wish to sce the democratic platform declarations carried into effect without creating divisions in the party. As the platform calls for the equal treat- ment of gold und silver, and as some demo- crats do not deem it safe to provide for the free go of silver, he would withdraw that privilege from gold and provide for the coinage of both metals on account of the gov- ernment exclusively. T'his might be accom- plished, he thinks, by passing a bill requir- ing the absolute purchase of & certain pro- portion of each metal each month and the coinage of all purchased, Congress wight, from time to time, change this proportion us the needs of the country scemed Lo require, and thus adjust the circulation to the de- mands. Representative Outhwaite of Ohio is one of the few western men who declares him- self in favor of an immediate and uncondi- tional repeal of the silver purchase section of the Shermaun law, but after that is done he says he would immediately turn his ut- tention to some legislation intended to secure the more extended use of silver as a money metal. One point upon which Mr. Outh- waite takes stroug ground is that the silver bullion now in the treasury should be coined at once and put into circulation sud thus re- lieve the money striogency. He says that, a8 the sceretary of the Lreasury s taken the position thateoin notes issued in pa, ment for_silver bullion purchused are re- deewabld in gold wlone, it does not appear there is any reason to retain this bullion in the treasury for redemption purposes.

Address Issued by Their Natlonal Execu- tive Committes, CicAGo, Aug. 4.—The exccutive commit- tee of the populist party, which has been in session here since the adjournment of the silver convention, tonight issued an address to the people of the United States, It says in part: ““The overwhelming spirit of this conven- tion indicates that the whole nation is alive to the dangers which threaten us. The con- vention not ooly repudiated tho idea of a gold standard and a gold basis, but unanimously committed itself to tho principle that we, as populists, have long held and cherished, namely: That law alone makes money, and that tho stamp of tho government converts 60 cents worth of silver into a dollar, equal to any gold dollar. And they unanimously accepted our doctrine—that the money of the country should be adequate for the de- mands of business and should expand witn the growth of population and commerce,” The address holds out the idea that the silver convention was a great victory for the populist principles as embodied = in the Omaha platforin and states that the struggle will obliterate old party lines; that tens of thousands of new converts are coming to their ranks, and recommeneing Industrial unions and all similar organizations as val- uable uids in organizing and educating the people, STEVENSON TALKS, He Thinks that the Sherman Act Will Be Speedily Ropenled. BLOOMINGTON, Tll., Aug. 4.—Vice Prosident Stevenson left this evening for Washington, to be present at tho special session of con- gress on Monday. To an Associated press correspondent tonight ho said: “From ad- vices I have received, it is my opinion vaat the Sherman act of 1390 will be repoaled, but as to_any substitute I am not prepured to talk. T hardly think anything will be done with the tariff at this session, as con- gress would not have time. It coed ingly hard to tell whether the session will be long or short, and it is oxtremely hard to foretell anything concerning it. I hardly think congress will have timo to adjust matters so that it can adjourn in as short a time as ten days, as has been suggested.” Favors & Double Standard. WasniNGToN, Aug. 4.—Mr. Dockery of Missouri, a leading member of the house committee on appropriations, arrived to- night. He said he was an advocate of the double standard but dectined to state how he stands on the proposition to repeal the Sherman law.

What is Eczema? 1t is an agony of agonies. A torture of tortures. It is an itching and burning of the skin almost beyond endurance. «It is thousands of pin-headed ves- icles filled with an acrid fluid, ever forming, ever bursting, ever flowing upon the raw excoriated skin. No part of the human skin is exempt. - It tortures, disfigures and humil- iates more than all other skin diseases combined. Tender babies are among its iost numerous victims. They are often born with it. Sleep and rest are out of the question, Most remedies and the best phy- sicians generally fail, even to rel'eve. If CUTICURA did no more than cure Eczema, it would be entitled to the gratitude of mankind. 1t not only cures but A single application is often suffi- cient to afford instant relief, permit rest and sleep, and point to a speedy cure, CUTICURA works wonders because it is the most wonderful skin cure of modern times.
